The e-learning platform for 100+ students

In the beginning, I would say it's a bit harder to learn but after I read their documentation and refer some guides I become a master of Moodle. There are a good amount of helping documentations with Moodle you can find almost anything on their documentation. I’m happy to say that still our students using it daily. If you have a small budget this is a great choice. I’m very satisfied on Moodle and I can recommend for anyone those who are looking for a good LMS platform

PROS

I have used Moodle for an organization to implement an e-learning platform. I have searched for may LMS and finally, I selected Moodle because it’s open source and very customizable for our requirements. While I am using the Moodle I can list down some pros according to my experience - Moodle has Multilingual capability that allows users to use multi-language it was a great feature for me. - Manage user roles and permission, You can define roles to users and manage user access - Bulk course creation and easy to backup - Customizable or create our own themes - Very useful calendar to track course deadlines, meetings and many more - Admin user can Install and disable 3rd party plugins

CONS

Though Moodle offers many features there are some things that I don’t like much. I can list a few cons of Moodle - The learning curve is a bit higher for administration and building Moodle courses for First-time users - If you need to customize some functionalities requires a Moodle programmer - The look and feel a bit outdated even if you use a theme it feels like bit older - I faced some upgrading issues it’s not that easy for me

Reason for choosing Moodle

Moodle is free and customizable for our needs and we can host it anywhere we want.

Easy to made learning platform

My overall experience with Moodle is really worthy. me and my team are creating new class, courses and tests on Moodle and it takes very small amount of time. Course management is really nice and User interface of Moodle is really understandable to students.

PROS

1. Free and effective open source learning. 2. Create easy assignments and learning management as per subject and as per class.

CONS

1. Bulky and heavy User interface. 2. No end to end security provided. 3. No option to signup user accounts automatically.

Reason for choosing Moodle

I choose Moodle over these alternative because, Moodle is open source and highly customizable as per requirement.

Reasons for switching to Moodle

Google Classroom, another useful tool from Google. I switched to Moodle because Moodle is open source and interface is understandable to students.

Moodle-The Ultimate Learning Platform

Moodle helps us track students’ submissions, participation in activities, which is very helpful. The benefit of Moodle is the easy of use, accessibility and multilingual support, gamification and engagement.

PROS

Moodle's resource management and collaborative tools are most impactful. Moodle is user friendly and a brief tutorial on the platform helps users become well acquainted in little time. Moodle carefully considers how educators and administrators make the best use of Moodle features making the integration process easy.

CONS

The mobile feature is not as seamless and the desktop app. Regular Maintenance and updates poses a challenge on users. Integrating into the business was easy, however with unannounced downtime particularly during submissions poses a major challenge for students and administrators.

Reason for choosing Moodle

The company chose Moodle, which was a wise choice.

Using moodle in college

Overall it is a good application and useful for what is used, it could be better but meets the basics of what is expected

PROS

It is an application that joins the classroom to the digital, bringing the documents used all to the same place facilitating the distribution of information to all users

CONS

It has old structure, sometimes difficult to measure or understand, meads do not notify which makes it difficult to see if you are not inside the application

Moodle help me lot as a student I like to use it as a teacher.

As a distance learning student, I use this in my university studies but as a secondary school teacher, I was unable to use this with my student. I like to recommend this to my students as well because I found the value of using Moodle when we have to teach from home during the corona pandemic.

PROS

I like the dashboard where we can access our subjects easily. We can get knowledge about out to stand in the different subjects by going through the results. The schedule help and remind us to complete the tasks on time. And also it is very easy to communicate with the lectures and the peers via the software.

CONS

If the time frame alerts work with some reminders, it will be better.

The best learning platform

I used Moodle at school and at University. Great experience for both students and teachers. Each update made the platform even better.

PROS

Moodle is great for Universities and schools and has lots of features for both students and teachers to make their journey on this platform a dream.

CONS

Sometimes it's very hard or even impossible to add new courses as a student user. Maybe a bit of UX improvements for this would be great.

Moodle

Positive. Moodle has been the first LMS I have ever studied/worked with. It has certainly helped me on my way.

PROS

It is easy to learn how Moodle works and it is easy to use. All of the basic features that you need are there. I have frequently heard of Moodle being "the one to start with" when choosing LMS for the first time for learning management in a company - and I can agree with it.

CONS

Looks oldschool. I know that Moodle can be visually customized to a certain degree, but the interface still looks a little old-fashioned in comparison to what other brands are offering.

Reason for choosing Moodle

Friendlier price + Alligned with what the college needed for learning management among students.

Moodle is Great for Checking Grades

I remember when I was in high school, they had just rolled out Moodle to our district. As a student, I thought it was a nice tool to access when I was curious about my grades and upcoming assignments. Now, as a parent, it's a good way to monitor my child's education and make sure they stay on track.

PROS

This software is a great product because it acts as a portal for tracking grades and upcoming assignments. This in turn makes me feel more confident that my kid is getting all of their assignments done on time, since he knows I can see his grades.

CONS

Sometimes, really very rarely, it seems like the sight is "down" for a little bit. Just a matter of hours. I'm not sure if it's a server issue, or if the issue is with my local school district.

A Great Open Source LMS

Moodle was a great first LMS for our school. We used Moodle from the very beginning and it served us well until we reached about 3000 students. Beyond that, we felt we needed more stability from an out-of-the-box LMS. We essentially had no tech team at this time, so we elected to remove the tech aspect. Any organization that has the tech skills would do well with Moodle at much greater numbers.

PROS

The fact that it is open sources is really nice. There are really endless possibilities with Moodle as a result, you just need to have the tech skills and personnel to put your vision together. The ability to customize heavily is a huge selling point for Moodle, one you don't get with many other LMSs.

CONS

This goes against my point about loving the open source nature of the platform, but there is no real support. You can work with a Moodle partner to handle technical issues for you, but this is quite expensive. Instead, I found myself spending many hours reading through forums to try and solve problems myself. Managing the hosting and updating of Moodle is tough if you do not have a strong tech team.

Reason for choosing Moodle

We chose Moodle because it was very affordable. We also liked that there were so many options to customize the LMS. At the time of choosing, we weren't 100% sure of what we wanted our courses to look like, so it was nice to know we had a lot of options with Moodle.

Moodle E-Learning Software Overall Review

So far, my colleague developers and I are excited about Moodle. We're currently customizing it (creating courses, students, faculty members, enrolling students in their courses, branding, carrying out training for both faculty and students) to suit our University's standard as we will deploy it for our students this academic year 2019/2020.

PROS

- It's built with the common language PHP and MySQL which makes it easy to customize (by Developers) - It has so many detailed features built-in, such as setting the date a course will begin and end, methods for learners to enroll in a course, the timezone of the learner, and more features. - Many plugins (such as video LiveStreaming, quiz modules, assignment modules) are present which provides even more features to the software. - It has detailed documentation for Developers and General users on how to carry out functions on the software. - Moodle is so far one of the best e-learning software which fosters the distant learning culture and is so helpful to learners for example in areas with a socio-political crisis.

CONS

- A fee is required for any least additional functionality the client wants to be added on Moodle. - The codebase is so hard to understand especially for non-Moodle Developers hence making it difficult to customize Moodle by yourself or team developers if they are not an expert. - Moodle is strictly course-based, making it hard to integrate and synchronize with say, a platform already built and used by a school, in this case, our University. - Email sent by the Moodle system to users always land in their spam/junk folder or doesn't even get sent at all.

Reason for choosing Moodle

- With Moodle, there is full control of data as the information (files and user data) is found on our website / VPS Hosting account, compared to Google Classroom whereby all information is stored in Google's servers. - Hence with Moodle, there's more data privacy.

Capable to power a whole university

While certain parts could be improved, the whole experience never feels overwhelming. Content can be grouped into weekly chunks to set the right rhythm for both teachers and students. Announcements and Q&As take place in discussion boards, with automatic email notifications for those who don’t want to check manually for updates. It is even possible to hold entire exams with automatic grading (for multiple choice questions) and an automatically generated score.

PROS

With not just employees but also students working from home, efficient educational software is more important than ever. Moodle is capable to power online teaching for a whole university, including online exams, file sharing, video uploads, discussion boards, surveys and homework submissions.

CONS

At the moment, there is no native video conferencing feature. We work around this limitation by pasting links from external platforms, like Zoom or Jitsi. It would be nice to have this functionality baked into the core, together with the possibility of referencing existing content inside the video call: documents, discussion boards, surveys, etc. Another pain point is the grading section. It is meant to calculate a student’s score based on homework submissions and online exams. Unfortunately, there are just too many figures relating to absolute score, relative score and more, so in the end it is hard to grasp what the final score is actually composed of.

Reasons for switching to Moodle

At my previous university, we used Blackboard LMS, which I’ve found to be more complicated even with its steep price tag. I think especially large, publicly funded institutions should choose very carefully if there is any free, open source alternative that matches their needs. It doesn’t even have to be a perfect match. They can just commission somebody to adapt preexisting software to their specific needs and still save money, preferably releasing their changes under an open license as well.

A complete solution for blended learning!

I have implemented Moodle LMS for many industries including Colleges, Universities, Manufacturing, Retail, Career Development Centers, Online Training institutions, Information, Media & Entertainment industries. Except the product is an open-source, I do not see ANY issues. This can be hosted in Amazon Web Services or in Azure cloud, it can be hosted in client environment. Moodle can be integrated with any 3rd party (both inbound and outbound) applications as long as their APIs are exposed. This has lot of in-built plugins/tools to manage ILT Events and Sessions, Chats, Virtual Learning Environment tools, etc. I highly recommend this low-cost solution for any type of industry.

PROS

Moodle is a complete e-Learning platform for many industries. It is well-suited for Education Industry. I have implemented Moodle in the large universities and colleges in the world. Most inspiring features are - the course section which can be grouped based on customized categories and sub-categories - forum which can be associated with the topics at course level or at organization level - Cohort which helps the institute to manage the batch-wise students group every year and can be promoted to next level without much manual efforts - Question Bank which can accommodate more than 12 types of assessments and can also be integrated with other assessment management systems or plugins

CONS

There is no limitation on the features, since this is an open source application, we cannot use it for GxP contents in Life Sciences and may not comply with Banking/Insurance industries.

Reason for choosing Moodle

Low-cost, highly flexible, scalable, robust, technical compatibility, user-friendly, no license cost

5 Year Student Experience with Moodle

Overall, Moodle has been a (necessary) help throughout my time in higher education. It's great when professors want it to be great, but without their development efforts, it's pretty lackluster and reflects poorly on them.

PROS

Our university portal was a skinned version of Moodle, and when set up correctly, it provided a streamlined experience with access to all course materials, forums, and grades. It's lightweight and easy to navigate. As a TA, I found that the backend was equally simple, though some professors clogged it with information that led to a bloated administrative experience.

CONS

The software is only as good as the professor (or page administrator) wants it to be. Those that go the distance are able to offer a streamlined complement to the learning experience, in-depth feedback, and supplement the class with online resources. Professors that did not take the time to do this left us with a barebones skeleton of a page that seemed to reflect disinterest in interacting with the students.

Reasons for switching to Moodle

Moved from high school into college (and subsequently, grad school).

Solid choice

We run and manage our own Moodle installation. As we have that capability, it has greatly reduced the financial commitment necessary to implement the software. As we are a non-profit, this is a huge factor in our decisions regarding software options.

PROS

We have been using Moodle for well over a decade to handle our continuing education program. It's flexible enough to generally handle most styles and formats in some way.

CONS

The overall look of Moodle has remained constant over the years. A good chunk of that is handled by the theme you implement, however, the base interface is mostly the same regardless of the theme used. Deviating from that is not a path for the timid.

Reason for choosing Moodle

Moodle just turned out to be a better fit. The interface worked better for us, and the system requirements made it simple enough to jump in.
